[sldev] Etiquette for posting patches-in-progress?

[Dzonatas]

What I did was to create a sub-task of in-progress work or work-to-be-done.
When the patch is ready to that sub-task, create another sub-task to QA 
it to a build.
Repeat if needed.

Sorting patches is a real pain in the arse.

I'll upload the current Sandbox-Something release to the OSLCC SVN and 
create a branch for your work. That'll quicken the merges easier and 
allow everybody to build the same way. =)

I suggest to Use TortiseSVN/Merge. It's best feature is the UI, but its 
folder hooks are a pain.  Eclipse also has very similar features to 
TortiseSVN/Merge. In Eclipse, I especially like the merge/diff and edit 
all -in-one view.  My recommendation, Tortise for the major SVN jobs - 
Eclipse for everything else.
